Volunteer with Learning Development & Success
Our team at LDS also includes student volunteers who help us with programming and staff the Peer Assisted Learning Centre (PAL). Each year we look for motivated upper year students who are looking to support student learning, and make a difference in the lives of their peers.
Ideal candidates for volunteer positions with Learning Development and Success will have:
-

- Strong study skills and consistent academic performance

- Good working knowledge of campus resources
- Problem-solving abilities
- A strong sense of responsibility (reliable, accountable, dependable)
- A desire to support other students and contribute to a positive learning community

Our volunteers gain valuable experience and transferable skills that can enhance resumes, and strengthen applications for jobs, professional programs and graduate school.
